Dell Technologies helps reduce risks for customers by validating and ensuring compatibility of end-to-end solutions with Dell Technologies infrastructure for common use cases. This pre-validated lab solution reduces system disruption and increases customer speed-to-outcome.

The key objectives of the validation are the following:

• Basic functional testing
• Performance testing
• Measuring the needs of specific system requirements to correctly size an implementation and match the appropriate Dell Technologies products to customer requirements.
• High availability configuration

The ISS SecurOS VA solution has been validated on Dell Technologies hardware components to document the performance characteristics and sizing guidelines for the joint solution.

Methodology

The validation process for the VA solution is based on the following Dell Technologies components:

• Dell EMC PowerEdge server
• Dell EMC VxRail Hyperconverged Infrastructure
• VMware vSphere

The ISS SecurOS modules considered for the validation are:

• SecurOS Auto
• SecurOS Cargo
• SecurOS Tracking Kit

Findings

The following are some of the key findings from the validation:

• The resource utilization is optimal when the SecurOS solution is deployed on a bare-metal Dell PowerEdge server.
• The use of additional GPUs enhances the performance of the algorithms consistently and helps support more channels per server. Some algorithms like the LPR use case support NN processing which can efficiently use GPUs to offload some processing from CPUs.
• The Dell EMC VxRail hyperconverged environment is a good solution choice when virtualization is preferred, however the sizing guidelines are on the higher side and would be different compared to bare metal environment.

The results and key findings from the VA modules validation are captured in the validation guide document titled, ISS SecurOS Video Analytics Solution on Dell Technologies Infrastructure.
